Onion Portrait Step by Step
1. Draw your face on white drawing paper, use a mirror or photo, add value
2. Place a piece of plastic over your drawing, (tape down if desired) with a black permanent marker trace the main components, add some shading with hatching, crosshatching, or stippling
3. Place a second piece of plastic over the top, choose 2 opposite colored permanent markers, add values.
4. Place a final piece of plastic over the top, with a marker (fine tip is good) add text that expresses something about your personality. You may choose to add design elements also (a pattern, radial lines, etc.)
5. In your deconstruction book, cut a hole with a box cutter or x-acto knife that is slightly smaller than your plastic. The deeper the hole the more dramatic the layering.
6. Optional; make a door by cutting about 5-10 pages 3 sides only, flip over then cut the hole. When finished paint the door to look like steel, wood, or any desired texture.
7. Assemble the plastic layers in your book, you can use tape or use glue sticks to mount them. Place them apart at different depths, experiment for the best effect, then tape/glue in place.
8. Optional; paint the page in your book under all the layers to improve contrast.
